Red light of wavelength $6500 \, \mathring{A}$ is incident on a slit of width $0.50 \, \text{mm}$. Find the distance between the two first minima on both sides of the central maximum in the diffraction pattern. The distance between the screen and the slit is $1.8 \, \text{m}$.

$A$ screen is placed at $50 \ cm$ from a single slit,which is illuminated with light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. If the separation between the $1^{st}$ and $3^{rd}$ minima in the diffraction pattern is $3 \ mm$,then the slit width is: (in $mm$)

Write the thoughts expressed by Richard Feynman regarding the difference between interference and diffraction.

In a double slit experiment,the two slits are $1\, mm$ apart and the screen is placed $1\, m$ away. $A$ monochromatic light of wavelength $500\, nm$ is used. What will be the width of each slit for obtaining ten maxima of the double slit pattern within the central maxima of the single slit pattern? .......$mm$

The phenomenon that explains why light waves do not travel in a straight line is known as .......

The distance between the first and the sixth minima in the diffraction pattern of a single slit is $0.5 \, mm$. The screen is $0.5 \, m$ away from the slit. If the wavelength of light used is $5000 \, \mathring{A}$,then the slit width will be ....... $mm$.
